Accelerating Careers in Real Estate

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This evening I am joined by Charlotte Constance, Founder of Conductor. Charlotte and her team focus on bringing science and soul to spaces and places. This means bringing data, insights, marketing and customer experience to bear thereby unlocking the potential of developments. At Conductor, they start every project with the people that will be influenced and affected by the spaces and places they come into contact with, with the purpose of enabling them to thrive, so that economic and social returns can be realised for all stakeholders. From a marketing background Charlotte has developed from a real estate newbie to a main board director for one of the best known residential brands and is now the founder of her own consultancy. Charlotte shares her views on the changing place of data, marketing and brand in the real estate cycle and how that has affected her career.

This marks our fourth and final instalment of our Self-Starters mini-series. Today I am joined by Chris Monkman, founder of Neighbourhood, Camilla Topham, Co-founder of Distrkt and Paul Clark, Co-Founder of Stories.

The series was introduced to look at the options to accelerate your career through starting your own business not developing within someone else’s. However, over the course of the 12 interviews, I have learnt a lot more about the drivers of our entrepreneurs, the challenges they faced and they have been good enough to share with us their advice to anyone aspiring to be a self-starter. 

We will be watching with interest how they shape not only their careers but those of many others I am sure.

So today's episode is a little different, in fact, the next few episodes are going to be a little different. Over the past 12 months since the depths of the pandemic I have noticed with increasing frequency individuals choosing to "go it alone", leave the corporate ladder and start their own company. It got me thinking, how often does this feature in the career playbook? So over the coming few episodes I will be talking to some of the brightest start-ups in real estate and proptech markets and asking their founders what they are doing, why they are doing it, what has been the greatest challenge and what advice might they have for anyone aspiring to do the same.

In today's episode, I am joined by Ed Ellerington of Packaged Living, Ben Orchard-Smith of Hedge RE and Angelica Donati of Donati Immobiliare Group.
